GIMP 2.10 status of locking icons difficult to see - nelo - 05-30-2018
Hi there,
I wonder if the status of the locking icons ( see screenshot) can be styled differently.
I find it very difficult to see whether they are active or not. Some colored background ( maybe green) might be helpful.

Gimp 2.10.2 dark theme, symbolic icons.
Thanks for any help

The simple answer is Yes:

It's defined by an icon called gimp-transparency, but obviously if you change it, it will also change wherever else it's used (which seems to include the Add Alpha Channelmenu item)

Thank you Kevin, I'll give it a try.
The problem is that using the dark interface, which I find really appealing, it is very hard to see the difference between activated and non-activated.

Sorry, I've misunderstood.
I think it should be possible to highlight the active icons, but it's going to mean much more digging into the theme.
RE: GIMP 2.10 status of locking icons difficult to see - Kevin - 05-31-2018
So far I've identified that they are buttons and by changing the icon gimp-button-pressed the selected options are highlighted:

Obviously this has a bad side-effect
, so I need to find how to select only those layer lock buttons.

It can be done without side-effects:

BUT - you will need to copy the theme to your personal Themes folder and re-name it.
Then you will need to edit the gtkrc file in the copied theme to add the following to the end of the file:
Code:
style "highlight-layer-locks" = "gimp-gtkbutton-style"
{
engine "pixmap"
{
image
{
function = BOX
state = ACTIVE
file = "ui/gimp-button-pressed-lock.png"
border = { 8, 8, 8, 8 }
stretch = TRUE
}
}
}
widget "*Tree*Button*" style "highlight-layer-locks"You then need to create a new gimp-button-pressed-lock.png image in the ui folder of your copied theme (copy the gimp-button-pressed.png and modify in a way that suits you)
However, I think you'd be better raising an Issue with the developers: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues as it is obviously not fit for purpose at present.

That really works like a charm, Kevin.
Thank you so very much.
PS.:
no chance to give them a bug-report. Can't register there because of that stupid capcha.
Clicked about 12 or more pictures ... but only get another one, no registration. Fed up of that now.
